Forcing online platforms to remove footage of violent attacks: could privacy help?
(International Forum for Responsible Media (INFORM), 2019-03-21) Gligorijevic, Jelena
The attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, last week saw the perpetrator publish footage of his violent attack, as it was happening, online. That footage was republished on various platforms as well as by some news media outlets. It is very likely the perpetrator could not have released this footage, live and to a global audience, without the resource provided by online platforms.
How Women in the Pacific Perceive and Reduce the Risk of Crime Victimisation
(Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, The Australian National University, 2025-07-25) Putt, Judy; Kaur, Jasbant; Calabrò, Domenica Gisella; Amin, Sara N.; Malungahu, Gemma; Meki, Theresa; Alex, Cathy; Bailey, Rochelle; Watson, Amanda H. A.
In criminology, there is a strong body of literature that examines risks of crime victimisation and fear of crime. Conducted primarily in high-income countries and drawing on the analysis of crime and safety surveys, the research shows that fear of crime is often not directly associated with actual risk, and that there are gendered and age dimensions to the risks of victimisation and to fear of crime (e.g. Stanko 1997; Walklate 2017). A pilot study (Putt et al. 2025) conducted in 2024 in five countries in the Pacific region aimed to explore how women perceive their risk in terms of physical and online safety, including financial safety. In this In Brief, we summarise the main themes that emerged from the pilot study in relation to how women seek to protect themselves (and whether this seems to differ from men’s behaviour).
Drinking drivers and random breath testing, wave 1, Sydney, November 1982: user's guide for the machine-readable data file
(Canberra : Social Science Data Archives, Australian National University, 1985., 1985) Traffic Authority of New South Wales. Traffic Accident Research Unit; Australian National University. Social Science Data Archives
The survey examines the beliefs and attitudes held by motorists in relation to drinking, drink-driving and New South Wales driving regulations. Of particular interest are the reactions of the young, especially males, whose contribution to alcohol-related fatalities is of deep concern. This first wave was conducted prior to the introduction of random breath-testing in New South Wales (see also SSDA 329).
Variables include drinking habits of respondent and friends, drinking locations, pressures from others for respondent to drink and drive, drink-driving of respondent and friends, alternatives to drink-driving, perceived affects of alcohol on driving ability, knowledge of drink driving laws, and acquaintance with anyone penalised for drink-driving. Opinions were sought on the causes of serious accidents, wearing of seat belts, safe amounts of alcohol prior to drinking, the seriousness of drink driving, and the use of the breathalyser, radar speed checks and random breath testing. Demographic variables are sex, age, driving status, level of driving qualifica tion, marital status and level of education.

Three similar surveys were conducted over an eleven year period in order to observe trends over time in licit drug use and its behavioural correlates among secondary school students. Information was collected on health, self-concept
and medications. This included dieting and the use of vitamins, analgesics, alcohol and tobacco. Background variables included school, grade, age, sex, father's occupation, place of residence and position in family.
